Today I welcome Jonny Huntington, the first disabled person to ski solo and unsupported to the South Pole! This is a huge challenge for any human, with harsh conditions and temperatures most of us will never experience. Jonny made the expedition a success despite the injuries he carries following a bleed on the brain. How do the risks of simply being present in Antarctica change with a disability? Is a different perspective needed? Or not.....? Enjoy!

Highly experienced jungle adventurer Daniel is planning his biggest trip yet. He hopes to be the first person to walk the entire length of the mighty Congo River in Africa, documenting his journey as he goes. We will follow him throughout his expedition preparations - from establishing personal links in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to building a firm risk management plan. Thank you, Daniel, for giving us this opportunity to join you!
